Mitochondria are key to energy conversion in virtually all eukaryotes. Intriguingly, despite
billions of years of evolution inside the eukaryote, mitochondria have retained their own …

Male–female coevolution has taken different paths among closely related species, but our
understanding of the factors that govern its direction is limited. While it is clear that …

Mitochondria are essential organelles, found within eukaryotic cells, which contain their own
DNA. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has traditionally been used in population genetic and …

As a pacesetter for physiological processes, variation in metabolic rate can determine the
shape of energetic trade-offs and thereby drive variation in life-history traits. In turn, such …

Metabolic rate (MR) is a key functional trait simply because metabolism converts resources
into population growth rate. Yet, our empirical understanding of the sources of within species …

The role of mitochondrial DNA for the evolution of life-history traits remains debated. We
examined mitonuclear effects on the activity of the multisubunit complex of the electron …

Background Understanding the forces that maintain diversity across a range of scales is at
the very heart of biology. Frequency-dependent processes are generally recognized as the …

Biocontrol techniques that impair reproductive capacity of insect pests provide opportunities
to control the dynamics of their populations while minimizing collateral damage to non …

The patterns of reproductive timing and senescence vary within and across species owing to
differences in reproductive strategies, but our understanding of the molecular underpinnings …

Tucked inside our cells, we animals (and plants, and fungi) carry mitochondria, minuscule
descendants of bacteria that invaded our common ancestor 2 billion years ago. This …
